We spoke with Kasia Bronk, Academic Development Consultant in UCL Innovation and Consultancy about her experience using this service.
When did you start using Unitemps?
I started using Unitemps last year, when we needed a talented researcher for special projects. We were able to shortlist four great postgraduate students, and the one successful in the interviews turned out to be an incredible asset to our team.
What kind of roles are you recruiting for?
Our needs are quite atypical, as we are recruiting for research project roles. Successful candidates have to be capable of independent work, with organisational skills, but most importantly, they need qualitative and quantitative skills to carry out and deliver an independent research project.
What has been your experience with Unitemps?
My experience with Unitemps has been very positive so far. The recruitment process is streamlined and easy, and the team is very efficient, organised and helpful. They have helped with every step in the hiring process from advertising the vacancy to assisting with shortlisting, providing support with legal checks, and later on employing a successful candidate. They’ve helped cut down on administration time immensely.
What do you consider are the main benefits of using Unitemps?
The main benefit to using Unitemps is access to fantastic and talented candidates with versatile skills who are often specialized (or comfortable) in HE.
Would you recommend Unitemps to other departments?
I would recommend Unitemps to other departments without a shred of doubt!
